Help Toni Get a Lung Transplant!

Thomasena (Toni) Somerville Ebron, needs a lifesaving lung transplant. In October 2015, Toni was diagnosed with a rare end-stage interstitial lung disease and her breathing rapidly deteriorated within about five months. A lung transplant will give her hope to have more years to spend time enjoying her two grandchildren, other family members and a host of supportive friends.

Toni, as she is affectionately called, is the wife of Willie and mother of Wilton and Wynnaea. She attended Philadelphia High School for Girls (Class 214), John Dickinson College, and The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Following her retirement from IBM after 33 years, she supported a family business, served as secondary caregiver for her mother during the last year of her life, and helped care for her granddaughter for two years. Toni has been a member of St. Matthew’s Baptist Church in Williamstown, NJ for 23 years and serves in leadership roles for the Deaconess, Women’s Retreat and Sunday School ministries.
